Industry 4.0 for SMEs

The Industry 4.0 brings opportunities to improve the productivity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SME), however at the same time the 4th Industrial Revolution brings some challenges as well. New knowledge management strategies promoting a collaborative atmosphere between SMEs are needed. Networking through the different regional, national and EU levels are required to foment the innovation.

Industry 4.0 - HUB

There is a gap to provide a collaborative Industry 4.0 knowledge transfer hub in a European level, without borders, without the level of granularity and regionality proposed in the current initiatives. This platform "Industry 4.0 - HUB" aims to fill this gap and has its focus on developing a collaborative web-based knowledge transfer hub for the implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies in the supply chain of SMEs.
